拿坡里義大利麵 / Napolitan spaghetti

Napolitan is one of the most popular fusion dishes in Japan, seen on menus at cafes and restaurants, as well as in the home. Boiled spaghetti is stir-fried, mainly with onion, green pepper or ham and flavored with ketchup. Some restaurants put boiled noodles in the refrigerator overnight and cook to order the next day. Some prefer using tabasco and cheese to flavor it. In Italy, generally speaking, ketchup is never used for any pasta, including spaghetti. There are some stories as to why the name is Napolitan, reminiscent of the port town in the southern part of Italy, Napoli. However, there’s no substance to any of them.
